GeauxGreddy Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 Coming from the world of CBs, and not even proficient in that world, figured I better check the SWR of my new fangled setup before I was crying over a fried radio. To my shock, i hit 1.01:1 on thr first 22 channels. Then when I got to the repeaters, it jumped to 1.93:1. My gut says cut, but should I just leave it? Tested with the Surecom up to 100w GMRS SWR meter.
